OCONTO - A home in the 100 block of School Street sustained moderate damage in a fire early Saturday morning. No one was injured in the fire.

Oconto Fire and Rescue Department was dispatched about 3:42 a.m. to 143 School St. on a report of a structure fire with the residence full of smoke.

When they arrived, firefighters saw fire on the porch of the 2,000-square foot, two-story house, and were told by Oconto Police that one occupant wasn’t accounted for and could still be inside. A mother and two children had already escaped.

After knocking down the exterior flames, they entered and encountered low visibility because of the smoke.

A thermal imaging camera was used to look for the missing resident. After an extensive search, it was confirmed he wasn’t home at the time.

The fire had extended into a wall and into a crawl space. After it was extinguished, a team opened windows to ventilate the smoke out. Crews then checked for signs of hazardous gases, but none were found.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The property is owned by Lacey Rose and is valued at $73,900, according to online property records.
